Song: Delius (Song of summer) Artist: Kate Bush Composer: Kate Bush Album: Never for ever Tabbed by: DJ 4th April 2013 Inspired by Ken Russell's 1968 biographical film, 'Song of summer', based on the memoirs of Eric Fenby. Fenby strived to transcribe Delius's latter works by the blind, paralysed, composer, who was suffering the effects of syphilis.
